Synopsis

This book is a compiled collection of readings from authors both contemporary and historic. The unifying theme among these is a shared focus on the historical, cultural and geographical diversity of the German language, speaking peoples, and nations.

One unique aspect of the book is the inclusion of sample texts in German as well as English translation which allows readers to engage with the source texts as well as the scholarly reflections on them. This book is a valuable resource for students, scholars and anybody with an interest in the German language or the history of its speakers.
